1982 euro 930 slant nose factory?

[dishmans2]

A friend in Oklahoma just sent me pics of this car that been sitting a few years. Owner not wanting to sell but after spending hours on here if it's worth throwing a big offer out there to get It I'll try. Here's the info below.

That is a real 930 VIN. If it is a factory slant nose, you need to check the headlight linkage. Very few companies would have used the factory mechanism which uses 1 motor and linkages to each side. The welting on the tail is rather strange as it is red. Factory welting was black. Hopefully, it wasn't a quick paint job on the decklid.

do these help identify anything. if I have to drive to up to Oklahoma to check I will but would like to know exactly what I'm looking at and if I can buy it if the price is right. thx

This is what the factory mechanism looks like.

Ok bummer but that's what I wanted to know. Now I'm not worried so much about going to see as bad. Lol

I don't think it makes too much difference which headlight mechanism was used if your car is a dealer conversion done before 1986. Collectors are looking for the 505 code and none of the pre-86 slants are going to have that code. Mine is a pre-86 dealer conversion, the quality of those conversion is very good. Take a look at the fenders and brake duct area and see if you can find the Porsche part numbers. Verify everything is steel with no filler.

Ok thanks and appreciate the info. Well I can now relax a little about it.

^^Pretty much spot-on, although you wont find a part number on those pieces. They weren't stamped with a number or triangle we're used seeing. They came with the old style factory part numbers on the peel off stickers.

As RarlyL8 said; only the 86> cars had the 505 code, everything prior was a-la-carte.
Also, some of the fenders were welded while later ones were stamped and thus have no seam underneath.. I don't know when the change-over was. However, the factory welded fenders are hard to define as the level of finish is very good and you really have to search for a seam/weld.. so if you cant find one, its probably factory as I've not seen aftermarket finished to that level on the underside.. and I've seen a few.

Good luck and enjoy the ride!

Def a very poor repaint. You can see over spray in a several places as well as the painted welting. Also looks like the the cold side turbo plumbing is over sized, (hard to tell by the pix) indicating a a hole saw cut on the DS inner fender. I personally like this mod but, it aint gonna add any value points. I would proceed with caution, unless you can get it real cheap. I'm sure you're aware, the cost of proper repaint can drain your bank acc. in a hurry.
